Hi everyone, as the subject says: I can't connect to internet using that USB key on Fedora 21, while I can connect on Windows 7, and I also can connect using another USB key (ONDA MT835UP) which relies on a different ISP.
My system: * Fedora 21 (Cinnamon) * Linux rudar-p5k 4.0.4-202.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 27 22:28:42 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Here are the steps to reproduce my issue: * plug the USB key and wait for it to be detected * open the network applet from tray and select "Network Connections" (will start nm-connection-editor) * press "Add", select "Mobile Broadband", press "Create..." * select the "Vodafone (ZTE) K3806-Z" device, press next, select Italy, select Vodafone, choose the APN, press next, press Apply * modify number to *99***1#, disable roaming, save * open the network applet from tray and turn on "Mobile Broadband"
After that procedure there won't be any active connection (for example ping 8.8.8.8 fails). I managed to log (with debug level) /var/log/messages while connecting with the two different USB keys:
Messages of "Vodafone (ZTE) K3806-Z" while connecting - http://pastebin.com/xjBYZzEB Messages of "ONDA MT835UP" while connecting - http://pastebin.com/g3Vrgr4J
As you can see I'm getting a curious error: * failed to connect modem: Couldn't parse IPv6 address '255.0.0.0' That's no IPv6 address, that's an IPv4 address, I'm confused.
Is there anyone who can help? Thanks for reading.
